Lace & Light Object by Margaret van Bekkum

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Margaret van Bekkum is part of a generation of contemporary Dutch felt designers. In her work, she shows an intuitive feeling for design and explores new ways of combining felt with hot copper or gold. With her passion for exploring new possibilities, she has left her mark on both product and interior design in the residential-, office-and health sectors.

The wool comes from a special sheep breed characterized by dense and long hair growth. The blossom white wool is spread out like a diaphanous net in a receptive rhythm. This laborious process requires incredible patience but ultimately results in a soft transparent effect. The gossamer thin structure of lace comes to the fore in an atmospheric way, because the light shines out from the inside. By presenting it as a light object, the design resembles a fine-grained lacework.

Launched during the London Design week 2018.
